Digital BW, The Print

Todd, I'm betting you will LOVE the new Brightcube Eclipse Satine or Velvet. 300 gsms and 350 gsms, respectively. Fits your qualifications
to a t with MIS inks. No, no good for piezo inks.

I got the Legion sampler. There are FOUR different Somerset velvets. Haven't tried them all yet.

They are:

1.  Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet Radiant White, 225 gsm, slightly thicker than epson archival matte
2. Somerset Photo Enhanced Textured, Radiant White, 225 gsm, slightly thicker than epson archival matte.
3. Somerset Enhanced Satin, fairly smooth, little texture, 330 gsm, nice and thick!
4. Somerset Enhanced Velvet, 255 gsm, fairly smooth. Note it is not enhanced PHOTO velvet.

Their naming procedures are getting more confusing than Epsons!

I'll test all these papers now, to see how the blacks are.
